Hiccup was finishing going over the plan. You mostly paid attention to your part and your brother's parts along with Jahlin's team. Your brothers were going to be going around the back of the island to keep any men positioned there off of you all while you went for Viggo with Hiccup. Jahlin and his team were going to keep guard at the docks and ports in case any ships that might have been out on the water returned to the base.

You were staying near Hiccup. You both were going to be the ones to confront Viggo in his tent. Hiccup wanted to as back up in case Viggo had any surprises. It was a solid plan. You were proud of him for finally coming up with something that was sensible. 

Then, Tuff's voice brought you out of your thoughts. You had honestly only half been paying attention. Your mind had wandered a little during the explanation of the plan. Of course, Hiccup had already gone over the entire thing with you beforehand, but still. You didn't want it to look like you weren't paying attention.

"Really? 'I'll take that?' Seriously, that's the best you can come up with? This is your moment, H. Books will be written about it. Children will act it out. Some adults will act it out, but it won't be as cute as the children. You need a killer catchphrase. One line that will withstand the test of time. As the sands and the ocean pass, your words will remain. I mean, you've just defeated one of the toughest, most ruthless villain in the world."

"Who let's face it, everyone thought was smarter than you." Ruff added after Tuffnut's monologing.

"Really? Everyone?" Hiccup asked. You rolled your eyes with a grin. Seriously, you two? 

"Well you know, there's no hard data, but if you had to guess..." Tuff began.

"Ok I'll tell you what, I'll work on something cool to say when I take him down. Happy?" Hiccup told them.

"Ah, ah, ah. Au contraire, mon frère. We will work on something better for you to say to him when we take him down. Trust us, we gotcha. It should be something with a growl, and, I mean, like..." He trailed off, trying to think of lines for Hiccup as Stoick walked over to his son.

"Now, that's what I call a plan." Hiccup smiled and the meeting was adjourned. You walked out and waited for him. Once he was outside, you yanked him toward you and you smiled at him as he saw it was you.

"I told you that you could do it. I'm glad that you finally got something for us to work with. I'm proud of you." He smiled back at you.

 "A lot of those ideas were yours. I...I couldn't have done it without you." You blushed, giving him a playful grin.

"We make quite the team, huh?"

"I certainly think so." Then, you saw his face fall. You frowned. You cupped his cheek and made him look at you.

"Hey, what's going on? Why the sudden change?"

"Nothing's wrong. It's just... Well, yeah, Tuff's right, this is huge. Viggo, Berk, the Edge and my dad placing his trust in me. If the mission fails, we could lose the Dragon Eye forever. That could mean the end of the dragons. They could be hunted to extinction. And I-" You cut him off.

"Hiccup, don't think like that. The dragons aren't gonna be hunted to extinction. We're not gonna let it happen because we're not gonna let this mission fail." He didn't really listen to you.

"And then there's this project Shell Fire thing. I mean, what?" You grabbed his chin and made him look you in the eye.

"Hiccup, that's enough. Stop stressing yourself out. Everything is gonna be fine. You've worked on this for months. It'll be okay." He smiled at you.
